Fame

To start off with, when you first set your eyes on this album cover, if you look carefully it looks like a piece of graffiti with the mix of pictures of Chris Brown and the way that Chris Brown is written on the bottom left hand side of the album cover. As you can see it’s a very colourful album cover for an R & B artist, you wouldn’t think it would be packed of so many colours because usually they just stick to one or two colours as seen below. The Graffiti album cover shows a massive difference in colour as you can see below. When more colours are involved in an album cover especially bright ones can attract the attention of the audience.

In this album cover there was only really one colour apart from the cartoon characters on the bottom right.  If you were to compare Chris Brown’s album cover to any other R & B artist’s album cover, Chris Brown’s will always be the most eye catching towards the audience. The way Chris Brown lays his album covers out are unique due to the fact that most artists would just have plain text on the top hand side of the cover rather than at the bottom which is what Chris Brown does.

Here is a picture of Rihanna latest album called Loud. Exactly as I described above there is a close up of her face and the album name is also there and visible on the bottom. Her name is not shown. Not all artist’s show their names on their album cover’s because most people would already know who the artist is just by looking at the picture.

If you was to compare Chris Brown’s album cover to an R & B artist like Rihanna you would notice there is a huge difference in the layout and colour the way most of Rihanna’s album covers are just a close up of her face and then on the top left will be her name and the name of the album. To some that may be a boring look of an album cover because if you think about it, it is just basic. But on the other hand, Chris Brown has usually got his whole body or sometimes even half his body in the album cover which also would have either another artist or some sort of cartoon in for example Chris Brown’s fan of a fan mixtape had a picture of him and Tyga or his album Graffiti as you can see above had five different coloured monster’s.
